According to the Ministry of Finance's bulletin, total government spending by the end of February 2026 amounted to approximately 1,986.8 million JOD. This includes 1,843.8 million JOD in current expenditure and 143 million JOD in capital expenditure.
The 60.4% increase in capital spending reflects the government's strategy to fund capital projects early in the year to stimulate the economy and improve public services. Key projects driving this growth include:
The development of the Risha Gas Field.
The equipping of the Ma’an Military Hospital.
Teacher training and development programs.
Municipal growth and development initiatives.
Supporting Jordan Tourism Board projects.
Domestic Revenues and Grants
Domestic revenues rose by approximately 36.3 million JOD (up 2.5%) by the end of February 2026, reaching 1,480.5 million JOD, compared to 1,444.2 million JOD during the same period last year.
This growth was primarily driven by a rise in non-tax revenues, which increased by nearly 70 million JOD during the first two months of 2026, totaling 424.7 million JOD compared to 354.7 million JOD in 2025.
Foreign grants received by the Kingdom during the first two months of the year totaled approximately 16.3 million JOD, up from 3.4 million JOD in the previous year. Consequently, total public revenues (including grants) reached approximately 1,497 million JOD, compared to 1,448 million JOD during the same period last year.
